Responding to psychic greeting

[Questioner]

I recently responded poorly to a situation that I interpret as psychic greeting.

The bizarre, hostile, and nonresponsive nature of the message was just the way that some other people had behaved in my past, before they turned violent or abusive.

My responses of fear, anger, defensiveness, and a desire to protect myself and other potential victims drove a compulsive sense of urgency to show up the "greeter"... even though the nature of the "greeting" was already self-evident, and nobody else was really in danger.

A portion of my response was informed by the Law of One perspective I've been learning here, and the part of my spirit that resonated with that perspective in the first place. Another portion of my response projected my hurts of the past into the present, making a mixed-message mess.

Without responding to the specific incident if you saw it, since I've been told that it's best to leave the specifics to those who are equipped to deal with the situation... I wonder if there are ways anyone can suggest to defuse the emotional "hook" of the situation, to escape the trance of negative and regain a peaceful awareness of the moment's opportunities for love.

I am working through the underlying issues from a psychological point of view with a compassionate, skillful counselor who's mostly Buddhist in outlook. My question here is what Law of One material might particularly apply in using wisdom and discernment, when offered an emotionally intense opportunity to join in a negatively polarized situation.

P.S. My response in the situation may have offended or reflected poorly on people of goodwill. I deeply apologize if that's what happened.

PPS I'll read and respond here tomorrow, my Internet connection is currently up and down intermittently.
